Too late to cut tail?? Hello everyone! I just bought a little yorkie girl yesterday. She is super adorable but she has a long tail. I personally prefer the cut tail look so was wondering: When is it too late to cut a yorkies tail? |
It is to late now. 5 days old would be the oldest I would crop the tail. |
I can't imagine that would be a very comfortable procedure for her- not to mention she might wonder where her tail went. :lol: |
Wow it's definitely too late. She is 8 weeks old. Guess I'll have to get used to it. |
1 Attachment(s) I honestly think that after 4 days it is cruel to dock a puppy's tail. I don't believe that you should dock because you prefer the look. Love her the way she is and leave it long. I have one with and one without and I honestly wish they both hadn't been docked. |
Look at it this way: you'll always know when she's happy!:D Docking isn't allowed in Europe. OK. You said her. Do you have two yorkies? |
i have 2 that have long tails and 2 that have short tails i like them either way i will send a picture of mikey who is 4 years old with his tail he is pretty cute |
Aww. Yes, it's much too late to dock her tail. My little boy has a docked tail, but I'd love for him to have his full tail. Tails are so expressive, and every time I see his nub wagging, I just can't help but wish he had his tail! I'm sure you will come to love her tail - I think full-tailed Yorkies are beautiful! |
Far too late, the docking of tails should be done in the first few days of life. Poppy has her long tail as docking is banned here in England, I love it. :) |
awe :( tails are so adorable, leave it be. It would be far too painful to have it docked now anyway. Rizzo has his and I love it :D |
I wish to heck they would ban tail docking here. I don't buy the theory that it doesn't hurt it they are less than 5 days old: after all, it's an amputation of bone. The medical community used to think that preemies couldn't feel pain either because they didn't always cry when they had procedures done- thankfully we now know that there are other signs of pain/distress besides crying and we've come a long way in pain management for them. |
Charlie has his tail and Natalie's is docked. Charlie is much more expressive with his tail than Natalie is. I love it! |

I have 3 without tails and 1 with. She is my "tailie girl" Your baby is adorable!!! |
Long tail, short tail, ears up, ears down. Who cares, they're still our babies and we just love them:) |
I agree with all of you. This is my second yorkie. My other one has his tail docked thats why I wanted her to have a short tail but she looks super cute with it too. After hearing how many of you have yorkies with both long and short tails I feel much better. Thanks for all your responses. |
